Amazing what you can buy on eBay for the price of a decent family car,

Hmm, that's very cheap for a Venom, so cheap it looks to have been pulled by eBay :)
This is of cause a later version of the Vampire, one of the first jets in UK service. The fuselage is plywood covered in fabric (booms, tailplane and wings are alloy), they don't weather well at all, not a good garden ornament.

I helped restore one back in the 80s, a very big job indeed.
